It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praises to the Most High.
It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning,
your faithfulness in the evening,
accompanied by a ten-stringed instrument, a harp,
and the melody of a lyre.
You thrill me, Lord, with all you have done for me!
I sing for joy because of what you have done.
O Lord, what great works you do!
And how deep are your thoughts.
Only a simpleton would not know,
and only a fool would not understand this:
Though the wicked sprout like weeds
and evildoers flourish,
they will be destroyed forever.
But you, O Lord, will be exalted forever.
(Psalm 92: 1-8 NLT)
I suppose the guitar is the modern equivalent of the harp and lyre. Recently I found the music of the marvelous guitarist, Rodrigo Rodriguez (was he born to this?) Here he plays “How Great is Our God.” Enjoy.
Stunning. As one who once studied classical guitar (still own a classical guitar) I am in awe of how he makes the strings sing. Yes, definitely makes me think of David and his harp:-)

I once recorded a concerto for soprano and classical guitar with a great guitarist. It’s in the archives somewhere. I’ve always loved the instrument and admire the patience and skill of those who play well. I do wonder what David’s harp sounded like.
